The refreshed 2013 Toyota Venza

AUTOBLOG - "The new, less fussy grille is the first thing you'll notice. Fewer horizontal bars above the bumper and a chrome accent goes some way toward below classing up the crossutilitywagon thing. The headlamps are new, and the fog lights have also been blacked out with chrome accent ring. Finishing off the new light fixtures are reworked door mirrors fitted with the obligatory built-in turn signals.

In back, the taillights have been slightly updated, but everything else seems to be much the same as the 2012 model. Venzas can now be ordered in Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl and Cosmic Gray Mica."

This is car that I can say with certainty is ugly. toyota really dropped the ball on this one I'd easily take an Edge over this. The only people that would buy it are people looking to move into a snore mobile. I don't see the Edge losing any sales to this.

Ehhh, they took a step backwards. I'm seeing Ford Edge in the front too.

^^^ I agree. I like how most of the comments on AutoBlog are also agreeing Toyota took a step in the better direction, not that the Venza wasn't already very nice to begin with. I'm not terribly as crazy about the revised front end as many of the folk on AutoBlog seem to be, but I still like it.

I liked the Venza. It was based on the flaccid Camry, yet it had ten times more style inside and out, making it a much more compelling people hauler. The only thing I dislike about the refresh is that new grill.
